Barbara tells Sarah that yes, she is lucky, she has something that she didn't think she could have, David's child.  "And you have David," says Sarah.  Barbara asks Sarah to let her have the child, it is better than the alternative.  She tells Sarah that if she kept the child then she would have a hold on David, or she could destroy him now.

David tells Barbara that Sarah told him that he wouldn't see the child and it wouldn't bear his name.  Barbara says she has given her a weapon and she is already using it.  Barbara tells him that she wanted to give him his freedom and he can still have it.  "She'll probably take you back in five years anyway," says Barbara.  David says he isn't proud of any of this, his lack of self control in the first place and anything that has happened since.  "If you want me, in the unlikely event, I'll be in the office," says David, and goes to the door.  "David!" calls Barbara. 

 

David shuts the door and turns to face Barbara.  She puts her arms around his waist and hugs him.  They hold each other.  "The awful thing is I'm jealous of that child," says Barbara.  David puts his hand to her face and kisses her.
